The problem with limited numbers of physicians, nurses, and other healthcare providers is expected to exacerbate. Health care must be as efficient as possible. This situation provides an opportunity for the application of telehealth clinics. It is time for organizations providing health care to objectively consider telehealth clinics. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have great potential to address some of the challenges faced by both developed and developing countries in providing accessible, cost-effective, high-quality health care services. Telemedical clinics use ICTs to overcome geographical barriers, and increase access to healthcare services. This is particularly beneficial for rural and underserved communities in developing countries - groups that traditionally suffer from lack of access to health care. In this work we propose an equipped system with new technology to provide wide range of services in Telemedical clinics which facilitates the provision of medical aids from a distance. It is an effective solution for providing specialty healthcare in the form of improved access and reduced cost to the rural patients and the reduced professional isolation of the rural doctors. Telemedical clinics can enable ordinary doctors to perform extra-ordinary tasks.

Abstract


The problem with limited numbers of physicians, nurses, and other healthcare providers is expected to exacerbate. Health care must be as efficient as possible. This situation provides an opportunity for the application of telehealth clinics. It is time for organizations providing health care to objectively consider telehealth clinics. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have great potential to address some of the challenges faced by both developed and developing countries in providing accessible, cost-effective, high-quality health care services. Telemedical clinics use ICTs to overcome geographical barriers, and increase access to healthcare services. This is particularly beneficial for rural and underserved communities in developing countries - groups that traditionally suffer from lack of access to health care. In this work we propose an equipped system with new technology to provide wide range of services in Telemedical clinics which facilitates the provision of medical aids from a distance. It is an effective solution for providing specialty healthcare in the form of improved access and reduced cost to the rural patients and the reduced professional isolation of the rural doctors. Telemedical clinics can enable ordinary doctors to perform extra-ordinary tasks.
